Super 6 - The final still unknown

21 Sep 2018

The Netherlands vs Greece

Who would
have thought that the score would be 4-0 for Greece in the top of the 1st! One
of the most experienced players on the Dutch team Rebecca Soumeru was unable to
stop the Greek offense; five hits appeared in her records. Marjolein Merkx came
into the game for Soumeru and finished the game as the winning pitcher in the
end.

The Dutch
didn’t allow any more runs and started their hitting streak. Two runs in the
first, seven in the second and five in the fourth ended the game prematurely;
run-ahead-rule in effect; 14:4.

A good
number of players had a perfect record of their hitting: Maria Zepeda (GRE),
Wies Ligtvoet (NED), Laura Wissink (NED), Maxime van Dalen (NED), and Virginie
Anneveld (NED).

Russia vs
Great Britain

An 8-inning
game that was tied on hits (9-9) decided about the one team that would make it
to the bronze-medal game.

Team GB
experienced that always-wanted moment when everything just comes together.
Sacrifice bunt, and then hit by hit, the British took a 5-2 lead. Russia added only one more in the bottom of
the 8th and will play for the 5th spot in the tournament tomorrow.

Greece vs
Italy

Amanda Fama
started the game off with an inside-the-park-homerun; 1- for Italy. Azzurri
went on with scoring in the 2nd and also in the 4th when Italian player Giulia
Longi showcased an inside-the-park grand slam!

The game
was over after five innings. After a great batting performance against the
Dutch, Greece couldn’t really hit the ball and lost 0-8.

The last
game of the day the Netherlands against the Czech Republic had to be
rescheduled due to weather issues, therefore the two teams for the final game were
still not determined.

Russia and
Greece will play at some time around noon for the 5th place.

Great Britain
is still waiting for its opponent for the bronze-medal game.

The final is
scheduled for 18:00, but who will be the two teams to compete for gold? We’ll
find out after tomorrow’s game at 10:30 (NED vs CZE).
